Alfred "Centennial" Johnson was a Danish-born fisherman from Gloucester, Massachusetts. In 1876, in a 20-foot sailing dory, he made the first recorded single-handed crossing of the Atlantic Ocean, landing at Abercastle in west Wales as a celebration of the first centennial of the United States. Local author Rob Morris has also written a book about the crossing called Alfred "Centennial" Johnson.
